Description:BACKGROUND
Field of Invention
[001] Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a lifting system and particularly to a system for lifting a heavy luggage.
Description of Related Art
[002] The handling of heavy luggage, such as suitcases, trunks, and other oversized items, has long been a challenge for travelers, baggage handlers, and logistics professionals alike. Conventional methods often rely on manual effort or mechanized equipment, both of which may be inefficient, labor-intensive, or potentially hazardous.
[003] While some lifting aids and devices have been developed, they often lack versatility, fail to adequately address ergonomic concerns, or are cumbersome to use in various travel environments. Additionally, existing systems may not provide adequate support for a range of luggage types and sizes, nor do they incorporate modern technologies for enhanced convenience and user experience.
[004] There is thus a need for an improved and advanced system for lifting heavy luggage that can administer the aforementioned limitations in a more efficient manner.
SUMMARY
[005] Embodiments in accordance with the present invention provide a system for lifting a heavy luggage. The system comprising: a luggage holder adapted to accommodate the heavy luggage. The system further comprising: an extender arranged under the luggage holder, and adapted to lift the heavy luggage. The system further comprising: a platform adapted to mount the extender, wherein the platform provides sturdiness to the extender while in an extended state. The system further comprising: a pedal adapted to be pumped by a user, wherein the pedal is adapted to actuate the extender in the extended state leading to lifting the heavy luggage.
[006] Embodiments in accordance with the present invention further provide a method for lifting a heavy luggage. The method comprising steps of: accommodating the heavy luggage in a luggage holder; rolling a platform at a desired location for storing the heavy luggage; pumping a pedal to change a state of the extender from a contracted state to an extended state, until the desired height for storing the heavy luggage is met; and storing the heavy luggage at a desired height.
